UI Scripts, UI Pages

[Harish Murikina · Accepted solution]

Ui Script : can call each and every page

suppose: jquery.min is ui script it cotains jquery library so when ever you call $j . the ui script can call.

Ui Pages : we can use it for display glide window

Ui Formatter and ui macro : we dont have data type "Macro" on tables like incident, problem change

so create a macro then create formatter in that give macro name as formatter so you can able to add that macro on incident table.

The wiki really is a great resource for this info, but here's a quick overview:

UI Script: Client side javascript that is callable in different places in ServiceNow. Mainly from a jelly page.

UI Pages, UI Macros, and Formatters are all XML/Jelly pages and the different is how they're called.

UI Pages - You call this page through a url: pagename.do

UI Macro - You call this from a ui page, other macro, or formatter, or from a catalog item or record producer.

Formatter - You call this from a form in SerivceNow.

well, the definition and the uses of these components you can find it in wiki.since you are asking for a relation in these, then .

UI Script : UI Script is a javascript that you can call from other script like client side scripting and HTML and jelly content like UI pages and UI Macro. so we can say that its a reusable code.

UI pages : as Brad Tilton (Cloud Sherpas)said you can call these pages with pagename .do .you can Include your UI Scripts here for some   desired output .

UI Macro : Macros are basically not a full UI page but they will be a component.These components you can add in catalog items , record producers, othe UI pages. so basically they are reusable components.

Thanks,
